Princeton Review lowers University s ranking in a number of categories

Weighed down with trunks, suitcases and a few uncertainties, hundreds of freshmen arrived for orientation Tuesday.

The 1,675 first-year students matriculating this fall —a class that chose the University during the throes of last spring’s lacrosse scandal—are also guinea pigs for a newly modified orientation week.

The most notable changes are an additional day devoted almost entirely to moving in and extended parental involvement.

“The full day for move-in allowed students and families to feel more relaxed in terms of getting something accomplished,” said Eddie Hull, dean of residence life and executive director of housing services. “It allows the first-years a chance to just be.”

Many of the events that previously occurred on the opening day of orientation—such as Crazies on the Quad and the African and African-American Student Reception—were moved to the second day.

University officials and student leaders called for students to take personal responsibility for their actions while at Duke at the undergraduate convocation ceremony Wednesday.

During the ceremony, which took place in Duke Chapel, President Richard Brodhead focused his address on how the new students could best take advantage of their time in college. As at last year’s con-

vocation, honor and community were central to the occasion.

Christoph Guttentag, director of undergraduate admissions, introduced the class of 2010 to President Brodhead, noting their diverse origins and reminding them that no acceptance was a “mistake.”

“Each of you has something meaningful to offer your University, your community and each other,” Guttentag said.

Duke can no longer flash the status card that is a top-five U.S. News and World Report ranking, the magazine announced last Friday.

U.S. News and World Report named Duke the eighth-best American college for 2007 in its popular annual rankings, marking the first time in five years that Duke will not be in the top five.

Last year, the University tied for fifth place with Stanford University; The Pratt School of Engineering slipped to a 25th-plaCe tie for best engineering program, down from last year’s spot at 22, while its biomedical engineering program stayed the course at No. 2 in its field.

Duke was also ranked as the lOth-best value in the “Great Schools, Great Prices” category, bested by ninth-place University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill.

U.S. News and World Report says it uses 15 weighted factors to determine a university’s overall rank, one of which is how a school is perceived by others.

But it is not likely that the overall three-spot drop is due to lacrosse-related critical media attention, President Richard Brodhead said.

Duke nets $46.5M for AIDS research Adam Eaglin THE CHRONICLE

by

In an effort to expedite the development of an HIV vaccine, the Bill and Melinda GatesFoundation announced in late July it would give 16 grants, totaling $287 million, to researchers around the world—with Duke receiving a portion of the funds.

Along with research institutes from more than a dozen countries, Duke will receive two of the 16 grants, totalling $46.5 million, said David Montefiori, a principal investigator for one of Duke’s grants.

Montefiori explained that the new GatesFoundation gift was designed to address two “high-priority” areas in the global campaign to develop an HIV vaccine; trial vaccine discovery and improving laboratory standardization to analyze candidate vaccines.

’We have all been frustrated by the slow pace of progress in HIV vaccine development, yet breakthroughs are achievable if we aggressively pursue scientific leads and work together in new ways,” Dr. Jose Esparza, senior advisor on HIV vaccines for the Gates Foundation, said in a July 19 statement.

The group of grant-funded consortia—which are known as the Collaboration for AIDS Vaccine Discovery—will include 165 investigators from 19 countries, and the Gates’ emphasis on cooperation makes the initiative unique among similar projects.

“All of these groups are expected to work together and collaborate with one another, and that’s really never been done before,” Montefiori said.

Pluto loses planetary status

FDA allows over-the-counter Plan B

by Andrew Bridges THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Women can buy the morning-after pill without a prescription, the government declared Thursday, a major step that nevertheless failed to quell the politically charged debate over access to emergency contraception.

The manufacturer, lawmakers and otheradvocates said they will press the government to let minors purchase the pills over the counter.

The Food and Drug Administration said women 18 and older—and men purchasing for their partners —may buy the Plan B pills without a doctor’s note, but

only from pharmacies.

Girls 17 and younger still will need a prescription to buy the pills, the FDA told manufacturer Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc., in ruling on an application filed in 2003.

The compromise decision is a partial victory for women’s advocacy and medical groups, which say easier access could halve the nation’s 3 million annual unplanned

pregnancies.

“While we are glad to know the FDA finally ended its foot-dragging on this issue, Planned Parenthood is troubled by the scientifically baseless restriction imposed on teenagers,” Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards said. “The U.S. has

one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the Western, world—anything that makes it harder for teenagers to avoid unintended pregnancy is bad medicine and bad public policy.”

Opponents contend that nonprescription availability could increase promiscuity and promote use of the pills by sexual predators.

Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America, a coalition ofreligiously conservative women, led the opposition.

“If the FDA thinks that enacting an age restriction will work, or that the drug company will enforce it... then they are living in a dream world,” Wright said.

France ups Lebanon force to 2,000 byJamey Keaten THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS President Jacques Chirac announced Thursday that France will send 2,000 soldiers to southern Lebanon and hopes to retain command of the U.N. peacekeeping force, as a top European Union official said international troops could start deploying within days.

The offer by France, Lebanon’s former colonial ruler and key architect of a U.N. Security Council resolution to increase the force’s size, was a major step toward expanding it more than a week after a ceasefire took hold.

It also represented a turnaround for Paris, which drew criticism last week after announcing it would only double its current 200-troop contingent. France’s role as mission commander then came under pressure, with Italy expressing a willingness to take the lead role and pledging up to 3,000 troops.

Dominique Moisi, an analyst with France’s Institute for International Relations, said France —in announcing a larger force—had felt the “international and national outrage at the contradiction between the French promises and what the French delivered.”

White House spokesperson Dana Perino said President George W. Bush welcomed the decision by the French and said an internationalforce should be “deployed

urgently.”

In a televised address broadcast across Europe and the Mideast, Chirac said he made the decision after receiving guarantees allowing the force “free movement and its ability to act when faced,with a possible hostile situation.”

“We obtained the necessary clarifications on the chain of command, which must be simple, coherent and reactive,” Chirac said.

Just one week after the International Astronomical Union released a proposal that would have maintained Pluto's planet designation, new guidelines have tossed the heretofore ninth planet out of the category and declared it a dwarf planet. The change comes as part of a new set of galactic naming rules.

Casualty figures under review The Army has begun a review of casualty reports on American soldiers killed in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere since 2001, a response to complaints that it has not always given families accurate information.

Dr. Michael Merson, current direcof Yale University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS, has been named director of Duke’s newly launched Global Health Institute, President Richard Brodhead announced in late July.

“The Global Health Institute exemplifies the kind of cross-field collaboration that’s rare elsewhere but relatively tor

common here,” Brodhead said in a statement.

“I am extremely pleased that Dr. Merson will lead this visionary new program to address health disparities in Durham and around the world.”

The ISO-million institute was launched in April and will play a major role in current efforts by Duke researchers, who in recent years hate received more than $350 million for HIV/AIDS research from the National Institute of Health and the Bill and Melinda GatesFoundation.

Members of the steering committee noted Merson’s combined practical and academic experience, in addition to broad knowledge of interdisciplinary applications to global health issues, as major factors of his selection.

“His experience ‘in the field’ also attunes him to the advantages, even necessity, of broad interdisciplinary application to the challenges of global SEE GLOBAL HEALTH ON PAGE 12

A “beer and burger joint” operated by The Q-Shack restaurant will replace Rick’s Diner in the fall, officials said this week.

Set to open in October, the location will be called “Tommy’s... Rubs, Grubs and Suds,” and offer traditional Q-Shack-barbecue fare in addition to salads, hamburgers, cheesesteaks and a variety of other cooked-to-order foods.

“We’re going to do some things that probably haven’t been done before,” said Tom Meyer, Trinity ’9l and owner of The

QShack.

Students often complained that Rick’s was unsanitary with poor food.

Meyer said he personally will be on location two to three days per week to en-

replace

sure overall quality stays high.

“I really feel a connection to Duke and I’ve always wanted to have my own place on campus,” he explained.

The restaurant will be open for dinner seven days a week, closing at 10 p.m. on Sunday, midnight on weekdays and 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

By arrangement with Dining Services, McDonald’s will extend its hours to replace Rick’s as the 24/7 dining location on campus.

A significant part of the Tommy’s experience will be its 12 beers on tap and weekly wine tastings.

The tapheads will rotate periodically to include domestic, imported, craft and local brews, Meyer said.

SEE TOMMY’S ON PAGE 12

An announcement released Aug. 17 added yet another twist to the already controversial Duke lacrosse case.

Superior Court Judge W. Osmond Smith was named to preside over all future proceedings related to the criminal case.

Sarah Parker, State Supreme Court chiefjustice, deemedthe case “exceptional,” which meritedthe selectionofa single judge agreed upon by defense lawyers and

by District Attorney Mike Nifong.

“Both sides were contacted and there was a consensus that this case would benefit from the designation,” said Kathy Shuart, Durham County court administrator.

Normally in North Carolina, Superior Court judges rotate every six months. Under Rule 2.1 of the General Rules of Practice for district courts in the state, a motion can be made by any party or the court to request exceptional status for a case.

Still, Shuart said it is unusual for a criminal case to earn this designation. “[The rule] pertains mainly to civil matters,” she said. “But it seemed to make sense. A lot of this is logistical.”

Shuart explained that cases that benefit from continuity and involve multiple parties or a large number of attorneys are often considered for exceptional status. Having one judge presiding over the entire case makes scheduling easier as the case progresses.

Candy Clark, administrative assistant to the district attorney, told The Herald-Sun having only one judge assigned to the lacrosse case would also allow other cases to proceed simultaneously without backing up the courts.

Renovated Perkins opens its doors Center for LGBT gets new head WOJCIECHOWSKA

BY IZA THE CHRONICLE

For more than a year, hammering replaced the silence of Perkins Library’s

first floor.

But Perkins’ meticulous makeover is now complete, and the library reopened Monday, ready for students to return.

“By and large people are upbeat.... This is an aesthetically pleasing space,” said Tom Wall, associate University librarian for public services.

The completion of the first floor of Perkins was the final element in Phase I of the library’s renovations.

The construction of Bostock Library and von der Heyden Pavilion was also included in the phase.

“The real anchor for the library is Perkins’ first floor,” said Deborah Jakubs, University librarian and vice provost for library affairs.

The area was redesigned and renovated to resemble the interior of Bostock, which has become popular with students and increased the library’s attendance by 40 percent in the year since it opened.

The newly completed first floor will accommodate reading and computer areas, 63 workstations and five group study rooms.

The reference desks formerly on the first floor of Bostock have been moved back into Perkins, where they were originally housed before renovation began.

The first floor of Perkins will also become the center of the library’s public services and instructional activities and serve as an “information commons.”

“The information commons will make getting information students and faculty need much easier,” Provost Peter Lange said.

The traditionally separate Chemistry and Biology libraries will be integrated into the Perkins/Bostock collections as the Gross Chemistry Building is renovated to house the Nicholas School of Environment and Earth Sciences and parts of the biology department move into the new French Science Center. The move from the Chemistry Library should be complete by the end of next week, Wall said.

Jakubs said.

As Phase I wraps up, however, the library system is moving straight into Phase 11. The second phase is slated to include renovations of all remaining floors in Perkins and is anticipated to be completed by 2008.

Perkins’ basement will become a “learning commons,” equipped with classrooms, a studio, multimedia accommodations and a tech-intensive center.

“We’re hoping that will complete the .

circle in terms of supporting the scholarly community,” Wall said.

The subbasement will be converted to modern compact shelving and the stacks will also eventually be renovated.

After Phase 11, further phases will restructure the Special Collections Library, University Archives and Perkins computer cluster, and the main entranceway will be reconfigured.

Once language departments move to the new Central Campus, library administration will be housed in the current Languages Building.

Doug Kim, Trinity ’O6, finished in seventh place at the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event, earning a payout of

$2,391,520.

Kim entered the final day of the $lO,OOO buy-in tournament In sixth place

of nine remaining players, but busted out in seventh when Paul Wasicka’s pocket queens held up over Kim’s pocket nines.

The Main Event, considered the biggest tournament in poker, set a record this year with 8,773 entrants.

Jamie Gold, a former talent agent for poker players such as Johnny Chan, entered the final day as chip leader and never relinquished his lead as he went on to win his first WSOP bracelet and the $l2million first-place prize.

Kim’s fellow Blue Devil, senior Jason Strasser, a former Chronicle sports columnist, made waves of his own at the World Series, finishing in the money in four separate events at the 2006 WSOP. His best finish came in the $1,500 buyin no-limit Texas hold ’em tournament, in which he came in seventh and received

$108,661.

In his four cashes, Strasser earned a total of more than $l7O thousand.

ESPN began televising the Main Event Tuesday and will do so every week at 8 p.m. at

The final table will be shown Sept. 26 9 p.m.

I loved being part of Duke University.”

Balius said the brisk business at the oncampus cafe was putting a strain on production and service at the original West Main Street bakery. He said Mad Hatter’s asked Dining Services to provide a kitchen for the von der Heyden shop, but that one was never built.

“Mad Hatter’s was not the first choice here,” said Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst. “Mad Hatter’s came in and we couldn’t change the facility to include a kitchen. The reality is we had the space that we had and we couldn’t expand it.”

Like Mad Hatter’s, Saladelia is a local

cafe that specializes in gourmet coffee drinks, desserts and sandwiches. The main store is located on University Drive, and Saladelia also plans to open a branch in the new School of Nursing building that will open this fall.

Saladelia Manager Gracie Vo said the initial response to the cafe has been positive. She also hopes to hire several students as baristas.

“It’s a great, easy location, so we’re going to have enough staff to respond to the crowds,” Vo said.

ORIENTATION

from P a ge,

from the changes.

“There’s an energy and excitement that hasn’t been there in the past,” Hull

explained.

Discussion of lacrosse, however, has not been part of that excitement.

Freshman James Zhang said he had not heard the subject broached until President Richard Brodhead’s convocation speech. Several classmates agreed, adding that it was not of serious concern.

“I don’t think it’s going to influence us at all,” said freshman Stephanie Li. “Stuff like that happens everywhere, but it was so big because of the name of Duke.”

Sophomore Sneha Mehta, a first-year advisory counselor for Bassett dormitory, said that although the differences are minimal, orientation changes seem positive. “[First-year students] have more options, and there is less of the ‘awkward freshman meeting thing,”’ she said. “If they have one more day to get to know each other, they don’t wander around alone on the quad like we did.”

The orientation schedule also includes additional 'faculty-led discussion sections on “My Sister’s Keeper,” this year’s summer reading selection, and a second annual trip to the American Tobacco Historic District and a Durham Bulls baseball game.

Despite a large number of arrests by state Alcohol Law Enforcement officers during last year’s orientation week, Associate Dean of Students Ryan Lombardi said the orientation team sought to create better events overall, rather than specifically trying to create alternatives to off-

Lombardi said the fair, a new addition this year, was intended to replace the many separate open houses held in past years.

He said the geography of the campus and the travel time required of parents made the open houses an unwieldy and ineffective tool.

The student activities fair, usually held during orientation, has correspondingly been moved back to next week. Freshman Brittany Matheson attended the fair with her mother, Marcel Matheson.

“I kind of wish I had more time to organize my room, but it’s good to have activities and not be bored,” Brittany said.

As Brittany perused the literature from the Student Health Center, her mother spoke warmly about Tuesday’s experience, from the heavy-lifting help given by FirstYear Advisory Counselors to convocation ceremonies.

“I think parents are more at ease leaving their child here because they’re aware of the resources here,” said Kevin Harrell, a health education specialist at the Student Health Center, of the fair’s benefits.

Lombardi added that there is a nationwide trend in parents taking greater interest in what happens on campuses. “Overall, I’d say it’s so far, so good,” he said Wednesday. ‘Yesterday, move-in went very smoothly and one of the things we added, ‘A Taste of Duke,’ drew four to five thousand people. Now we’re just waiting to see how exhausted kids are by this weekend.”

Its work will be funded with $31.5 million received from the Gates grant—the second largest of the 16 grants, he said.

Principal investigator Barton Haynes, director of the University’s Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology and the Duke Human Vaccine Institute, will lead the team of investigators working for vaccine discovery. Its specific grant from the Gates Foundation totalled $l5 million.

As part of the Gates Foundation’s plan, collaboration will take place between the two programs working at Duke. “[Haynes] will send us the blood samples from those tests to see if they’re, neutralizing antibodies,” Montefiori said. , “Part of what my grant will do is to provide this type of service for all of the vaccine discovery groups that are in the CAVD.” Montefiori’s group will work to provide valid lab criteria in order to

Brodhead then offered them specific suggestions for contributing to their own and others’ growth.

He encouraged the freshmen to engage with one another through civility and respect and to explore fields in which the University is an intellectual leader.

He noted the University’s excellence in areas such as genomics, Islamic studies, contemporary China and globalization.

“They’re all Duke strengths, but the point is that they could become your strengths,” Brodhead said, explaining that each student must make an active choice to get the most out of college.

In reference to an upcoming lecture series on privacy, the president reminded students about the potential repercussions of posting on the internet.

“Personally, I have not peeked,” Brodhead said, but he warned that others could.

Respect and responsibility were also featured in a topic that arose near the end of Brodhead’s speech.

He described the “great trouble” last spring without ever mentioning the word “lacrosse,” instead focusing on the scandal’s implications for responsible, ac-

ceptable student behavior.

Having scattered jokes throughout his speech, the president concluded with his hopes that students would remember the words of “a berobed and mysterious man in a sparkling necklace.”

Senior Jonathan Schatz, chair of the honor council, also had an opportunity to give remarks. Using personal examples to promote the importance of honor and integrity, Schatz exhorted students to sign the Community Standard as they departed the convocation ceremony.

“By signing the Community Standard, you, as a class, together, take the first step toward making the most of your college years and the rest ofyour life,” Schatz said.

Many students stopped to add their name to the lists of signatures as they streamed out of the Chapel, ready to share a picnic lunch with new friends and their parents, who had watched the event from Page Auditorium.

“It just supports Duke’s community to honesty,” said freshman Kyu-Min Lee. Students said they were pleased with the ceremonial beginning to their undergraduate careers, noting their appreciation for Brodhead’s use of humor.

“It was better than your average start-ofterm speech,” said freshman Sarah Steele.

judge the potential of candidate HIV vaccines in their early stages.

“It’s important to be able to compare these vaccines on a level playing field to determine whether one might be better than another,” he said.

“That will allow us to decide which of these candidate vaccines are most deserving of advancing to human clinical trials.”

Co-investigators will include fellow faculty members Marcella SarzottiKelsoe, Georgia Tomaras, Guido Ferrari, Norman Chen and Feng Gao. Haynes’ research, on the other hand, will be one of the projects that feeds candidate vaccines for testing to laboratories like Montefiori’s.

This second grant-funded project hopes to find ways to “switch on” the human immune system’s ability to make antibodies that are effective against HIV.

TOMMY'S

from page 3

“It should be better than anything you can find offcampus,” he said, emphasizing that he has been in the restaurant

business since 1990.

“[Tommy’s] will always include a lot of fun,” Meyer added.

The feasibility of having on-campus drinking destinations is at stake, depending on student reaction to Tommy’s, acknowledged Jim Wulforst, director of dining services.

Armadillo Grill had its liquor license suspended this summer after underage students were found drinking on the premises.

“I’m trying to meet all the demands and requests,” Wulforst said, noting that Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, suggested a wine bar in the Bryan Center, which Wulforst said was not feasible.

“We’re going to do a reasonably good job so far as carding,” Wulforst said.

“I don’t think drinking will be the primary motive for

the location,” he added.

Still, Duke Student GovernmentPresident Elliott Wolf, ajunior, said he’s “thrilled” at the addition of another campus bar.

“We would like to see the social scene back on campus and having alcohol associated with dining on campus is a great way to do that,” Wolf explained.

Meyer said he’s not seeking to promote “irrational drinking” and believes his restaurant will be defined more by its “fair price, good portions and great taste” than by alcohol.

No item will cost more than $7.95 except for ribs, and there may be more upscale options such as risotto certain days of the week.

The restaurant, located in the McClendon Tower, will undergo a physical transformation in the coming weeks.

There will be six to eight televisions—including a 52inch plasma —with darts, games and “great music playing,” Meyer said.

He added that there will be an expanded outdoor seating area as well.

GLOBAL HEALTH f om pages health and health inequalities,” said Provost Peter Lange.

Planners for the institute aim to avoid the typical medical-school-centric approach to global health studies.

“Merson understood how [the institute] is distinctive from global health programs driven entirely by medical schools or schools of public health,” said Bob Cook-Deegan, co-chair of the Global Health Initiative Steering Committee and research professor of public policy.

An internationally renowned AIDS researcher, Merson served as director of the World Health Organization’s Global Program on AIDS and two other international health programs for 17 years before taking the position at Yale.

There, he gained experience spanning areas from translational research to social science research to policy issues relating to global health.

At Yale, Merson was dean and chair of the Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health from 1995 to 2004, and “expressed strong interest in undergraduate teaching”—an important element of Duke’s new undergraduate certificate program in Global Health, Cook-Deegan said.

Merson has authored more than 175 articles and is the senior editor- of “International Public Health,” the first textbook published on the subject.

Most recendy, Merson has been published on global AIDS policy issues, and said in a statement that he was attracted to Duke’s philosophy regarding interdisciplinary approaches to achieve advances in healthcare.

Cook-Deegan said Merson’s own philosophies match closely the forces that drive the Duke community as a whole.

“He thrives on student enthusiasm, which is our greatest resource,” Cook-Deegan said. “Where there is passion, good things will follow.”

U.S. NEWS from page 1 as part ofU.S. News’ subjective component, Brodhead said, but those rankings were due in to the magazine last fall—months before rape allegations against three members of the lacrosse team surfaced.

“I just don’t see any way that this could have been impacted by lacrosse,” he said.

“The truth of the matter is that our work here is about making this a great university and really achieving the reality, not the ranking,” he added. “That is what my focus is on.”

The academic community has long bemoaned university rankings as imprecise indicators of scholastic excellence, but U.S. News numbers are fixtures in the media and among prospective students year after year.

like College Confidential center on the U.S. News top-25 list, organizing university discussion forums in order of the magazine’s rank, and the supersized issue itself remains on newsstands for a year.

“We recognize that the public pays an enormous amount of attention to U.S. News [rankings], and it’s always nice to be ranked in the top group,” said John Bumess, senior vice presidentfor public affairs. “But there is a precision implied by U.S. News that I’ve always been uncomfortable with.”

Brodhead and Burness both said that the methodology of the magazine—which quantifies the difference between the hundreds of universities ranked—seems more of a gimmick than an actual science.

“Like any school, we bounce around,” Brodhead said. “Some years we bounce a little higher and some years we bounce a little lower. I regard the significant thing as

whether we’re regarded in the company of the very great universities.”

“Clearly, we are,” he said.

Duke was last ranked eighth in 2001, but jumped to fourth place in 2002.

Fallout from the lacrosse case was more evident in rival rankings published this month by the Princeton Review, with Duke coming in sixth on the “Little Race/Class Interaction” list and ranking fourth in the nation for worst town-gown relations.

The popular lists, published annually by the test preparation company, also ranked Duke the 11th toughest school to get into, up from last year’s No. 14 berth.

The University received similarly high marks for social activity, nabbing the No. 10 spot for engaging campus life and ranking 20th for popularity of intramural and varsity athletics.

Long said she was impressed with the diversity, depth and enthusiasm for LGBT issues expressed by the students she met during the interview process.

Long said she believes Duke has made great strides in the LGBT community, and hopes to expand on Krahulik’s work.

“Duke has been named one of the 20 most welcoming campuses for LGBT students, faculty and staff in the country,” Long said. “I think that’s pretty amazing, given that Duke was listed by the Princeton Review just six years ago as one of the most homophobic campuses in the country.”

Some of the initiatives that contributed to Duke’s high ranking include same-sex benefits, the inclusion of sexual minorities in non-discrimination policies and LGBT Cen-

Students who worked at the on-campus Mad Hatter’s learned by e-mail several weeks ago that they had lost their jobs, although the bake shop encouraged them to apply for positions at the main store off East Campus.

“It was really disappointing, because I really enjoyed serving people, and the staff was awesome too,” said former employee and sophomore Brian Adams.

Although Saladelia is trying to hire student employees for its new location, Adams said he will not apply and instead hopes to work at either the original Mad Hatter’s or a student-run business on the West Campus Plaza.

Both Balius and Wulforst said they hoped Mad Hatter’s would soon return to campus in one form or another.

“It was definitely an amicable departure,” Balius said. “If a space becomes available that meets our needs, I’d love to come back on campus.”

programming.

The center will be holding a celebration Monday in honor of the distinction.

“I think theLGBT task force and the staff that preceded me here, as well as the administration and the students who have been a part of the center, really should be commended,” Long said.

In her first few weeks on the job, she has been welcoming students and participating in various activities, including the Student Leadership Retreat at Beaufort, convocation and the Departmental Resource Fair.

“I was there and manned the booth and tried to meet and greet as many students as possible,” Long said. “I’ve also had a lot of people coming into the center itself, students who are new to Duke, who are just stopping by to find out about it.”

Krahulik announced her exit on the first day ofclasses last fall and is now an associate dean at Brown University.

She said she thought Duke was not “based in a particularly gay-friendly or highly gay-populated area.” Her position, which she held from 1999 to 2005, was “marginalized” and “an uphill battle,” she told Towerview Magazine last fall. The focus ofLong’s tenure will be on creating solutions and actions and seeking to reach beyond the walls of the LGBT Center.

“I will be looking for ways for the center to be in service to the Duke campus and Durham community,” she added.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, called Long a “proven leader,” and added that a large group of people, including members of Duke’s LGBT community, unanimously endorsed her.

Long, who earned a master’s of religious studies at Duke, has primarily clinical experience.

“Although she is coming from a marriage and family therapy background, she has written extensively on the LGBT issue,” said junior Norman Underwood, president of the Alliance of Queer Undergraduates at Duke.

He added thathe believes Long’s background will provide added sensitivity to her work. “I think she’s outstanding,” Moneta said. “We are lucky to have her.”

Former Blue Devil star Alana Beard is coming home to Cameron Indoor Stadium Tuesday, and she’s bringing the rest of the 2006 USA Women’s World Championship Team with her.

Beard—a 2004 Duke basketball alum and current member of the Washington Mystics —will train with the team in Durham starting Aug. 29 as it prepares for the FIBA World Championships in Sao Paulo, Brazil, which begin Sept. 12.

The team will finish off its stay with an exhibition game Sept. 7 against 2004 Olympic silver medalist Australia in Cameron.

Beard will not be the only familiar Blue Devil face on the floor that night. Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors will be on the sidelines as one of three assistant coaches for Team USA, the defending FIBA world champions.

“I’m so excited about coming back to my home at Duke and playing in front of everyone who supported me through my four years there,” Beard said. “Even though I’ll be representing USA Basketball this time around, I’ll always be a Dukie. I can’t wait to be able to play again at Cameron, and to be teamed up with Coach G again will be awesome.”

John Danowski sits at his desk in his new office insidethe Murray Athletic Building; he was hired July 21.

New men’s lacrosse head coach John Danowski finally arrived for good in Durham last week. He was greeted with an empty office and a full slate of expectations.

For three years, Danowski and his wife, Patricia, had travelled to Durham to watch their son Matt, now a senior, play for the Blue Devils. Each time they came, the couple would greet former head coach Mike Pressler in his office in the depths of the Murray Athletic Building and then recede to the metal bleachers ofKoskinen Stadium to watch the game with the rest of the Duke parents.

But last week, it was a very different sight in the head coach’s office inside Murray. Pressler wasn’t there to welcome the Danowskis—he recently agreed to take over Division II Bryant University’s men’s lacrosse program after resigning from Duke under pressure April 5.

Instead, there was an empty office with bare walls and little more than a desk, a computer and chairs.

“This is weird,” Patricia Danowski said.

John Danowski couldn’t disagree.

These conflicting feelings of discomfort regarding the circumstances and excitement about the opportunity at hand have come to define the situation now facing Danowski as he assumes control of the team.

Tapped by President Richard Brodhead and Director of Athletics Joe Alieva July 21 to salvage the embattled program in the wake of the ongoing controversy, Danowski first had some loose ends to tie up at his SEE DANOWSKI ON PAGE 24

Young Blue Devils will face challenges in 'O6-'O7 schedule by

Michael Moore THE CHRONICLE

Greg Paulusand the Blue Devils will try to repeat last year's performance when Indiana visitsCameron Nov. 28 in the 2006 ACC-BigTen challenge.

The 2006-07 Blue Devils may not have the experience of last year’s team, but they will get some big-game exposure in a hurry.

In addition’to the always-brutal ACC slate, Duke’s nonconference schedule this year features several games that will test the young squad right from the start of the season.

Following a possible trip to Kansas City for the semifinals and finals of the College Basketball Experience Classic, formerly known as the Guardians Classic, the Blue Devils face a daunting pre-Christmas stretch in which six of their seven opponents made the NCAA Tournament last season.

Highlighting that stretch are consecutive home matchups against powerhouses Indiana and Georgetown.

The contest against the Hoosiers is part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge and is a rematch of Duke’s 75-67 win in Bloomington, Ind. last season.

The Hoyas, who handed the Blue Devils their only nonconference loss of last year’s regular season, return big men Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert and are projected to be in the top-10 of most preseason polls.

“Obviously we wantAo have a strong schedule every

year, and with the ACC being so competitive, you have to prepare yourself before you get to conference,” assistant coach Chris Collins said. “Those two back to back will be great tests, especially with a young team.”

The difficult stretch ends with Duke’s first-ever matchup with Gonzaga. The Blue Devils and Bulldogs own the first-and second-best records in all of Division I over the last six seasons, respectively. Both are recovering from the loss of last year’s scoring tide race participants—JJ. Redick and Adam Morrison.

“We’re very excited about the Gonzaga game in New York,” said Associate Athletic Director Mike Gragg, Duke’s schedule architect. “We’ve been talking with Gonzaga for a number ofyears, trying to set up a neutral-site game,and it never has been able to work out.”

This year’s schedule also continues head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s tradition of playing successful teams from mid-major conferences. Holy Cross and Kent State are NCAA Tournament regulars, but the concept is epitomized in the matchup with George Mason, last year’s Final Four surprise, in Cameron Indoor Stadium Dec. 9.

FOOTBALL

Jones readies for debut as starting quarterback Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

by

When the football team learned in the middle of July that starting quarterback Zack Asack had been suspended for plagiarism and would be unable to participate in the upcoming season, backup quarterback Marcus Jones’ cell phone was buzzing.

His teammates voiced concern, support and wonderment to the new leader of the offense. Jones, however, remained calm and collected as he focused on the task ahead.

“When I first heard it, it was from a couple of my teammates,.” Jones said. “I didn’t really know what was going on. I told them to just lay back and wait until the facts came out. When the facts came out, I knew what I had in front of me.”

Jones had battled with Asack in spring practice for the starting spot but ended up second on the depth chart behind his classmate, who started six of the final seven games in 2005 and threw for 966 yards.

After the suspension, Jones found himself in the No. 1 spot.

Following Asack’s exit, head coach Ted Roof addressed the team and made clear the facts of the suspension—Asack would be eligible to return next season—but for this season, the team would have to move on without him.

Roof also met with Jones individually and told the rising sophomore, who completed just two of seven passing attempts last season, that he had confidence in his ability to guide the offense.

“He told me that he believed in me, and he thought that I could take on the role to start at the beginning of the season,” Jones said.

Jones said he feels prepared to take on the role.

He threw extensively to the wide receivers in the spring as he battled for the starting spot and spent the summer working on his timing with them.

Jones’ focus, however, certainly changed following the suspension. The pressure to perform and succeed surrounded him after he became the clear starter.

Roof and the rest of the coaching staff hammered on his mistakes during the preseason practices, but Roof complimented his ability to learn from his errors.

“Everyday, he seems to be getting a little better at something,” Roof said. “And the thing about Marcus is whatever mistakes he made the previous day, once they are corrected in the film room, then you don’t see those same mistakes on the practice field the next day.”

Jones said the hardest part of practice is taking everything he learned in meetings and the film room and translating it to success on the practice field the next day.

“When we have meetings, I have it all down, like bam, bam, bam,” Jones said. “I know my reads, my assignments, and my coverages, but when we come out here on the playing field, it’s all different. I have to .

Coach K's USA squad remains undefeated by

The Americans got off to a bit of a slow and trailed by one midway through the first quarter. A 19-0 run gave them a 3113 lead early in the second, and after that Krzyzewski was able to mix and match while making sure his stars didn’t play too much in his team’s fifth game in six nights.

night.

Wade had the night off, and the rest of the Americans SENEGAL essentially got a USA 103 breather, too, in a 103-58 victory over Senegal on Thursday night at the world championships.

Chris Bosh scored 20 points and LeBron James added 17 in limited duty for the U.S. team (5-0), which remained unbeaten.

The Group D champions depart Friday morning for Saitama, where they will face Australia, the fourth-place team from Group C, on Sunday in the round of 16.

That will surely be more difficult than this one, where the U.S. led by as many as 45 against the overmatched African runner-up.

“It’s the medal round,” Wade said.

“Everyone is good. We’ve got to come in and prepare for them like we’ve been doing every other game and take it from there.”

James scored 15 points in 13 minutes of the first half, then sat along with Carmelo Anthony for the first seven minutes of the third quarter and returned for only a few minutes. Anthony finished with 12 points and played only 14 minutes, one night after setting an American record with 35.

TOSHIFUMI KITAMURA/AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE

Shane Battier is one of two former Blue Devils to make Mike Krzyzewski's World Championship squad.

Elhadji N’doye scored 25 points for Senegal (0-5), the last-place team in Group D. “We’ve got players, so we just need to reorganize,” Senegal’s Makhtar N’diaye said, “Our team’s going to do that, and our future is pretty bright.”

The Americans were coming off their

toughest test of the tournament, needing huge second halves from Anthony and Wade to help them rally from a 12-point deficit to beat Italy 94-85 on Wednesday.

But Wade, who appeared to land on his

hand after a hard foul during that victory, wasn’t needed this time. He showed up on the court a little more than 15 minutes before the tip and stretched, but otherwise just watched his teammates, Anthony started the game alongside him on the bench. With nothing at stake, U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski sent out a lineup that included Brad Miller—who had played in only two of the first four games—along with usual reserves Joe Johnson, Kirk Hinrich and Antawn Jamison.

“There are no grand illusions that this is going to be an easy road,” Shane Battier said.

Every U.S. player except for Elton Brand, who played only three minutes in the first half, had scored by the break. Anthony’s 3pointer with under four seconds to go gave the Americans a 58-24 lead at the break.

“It was great for other guys to get minutes that haven’t played a lot and play well,” Brand said.

Bosh, seeing limited time in Krzyzewski’s 10-man rotation for most of pool play, scored 15 points in the second half. He made a pair of free throws to give the Americans a 101-58 lead with 2:04 remaining, and Jamison followed with a bucket 30 seconds later to give the Americans their largest lead.

“Chris has been a guy, who when he has played, has done a good job for us on the offensive glass,” Wade said. “But it’s 12 guys on the team, so I think Coach, like he told everybody coming in, he doesn’tknow who he’s going to play any given night so everyone has to continue to be ready.”

Johnson had 11 points for the U.S., which shot 51 percent. Bosh grabbed 10 rebounds, leading the Americans’ 53-32 advantage on the boards.

WEIYITAN/THE CHRONICLE

Though Duke will play a tough home schedule, the Blue Devils' only non-conference road game is not until February at St. John's.

M.BASKETBALL from page 19 The Colonials lost three starters from one of the biggest Cinderella teams ofall time, but Collins said he expects head coach Jim Larranaga’s squad to be extremely competitive.

“If our guys didn’treally know about George Mason before, they definitely are paying attention now,” Collins said. *They are not just coming in to take in the sights and sounds, they are here to win and they have the confidence that they can win.”

Although the Blue Devils will encounter a number of talented opponents, they likely won’t be seeing too many hostile crowds.

If they advance to the finals of the CBE Classic, the Blue Devils’ first road game would be their 16th contest of the season, when they travel to Georgia Tech. The only nonconference road game is not until Feb. 25, when Duke takes on St. John’s in Madison Square Garden.

Duke, which played four non-conference road games last season, is at home in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge against Indiana this year, and it will also face Georgetown and Temple in Cameron after travelling to Washington D.C. and Philadelphia last year.

Gragg said the low number of road games was due to the contract cycle, but Collins noted that the early-season schedule could benefit the young team.

“A lot of home games could end up being a positive with so many freshmen and sophomores having to play large roles this year,” Collins said. “We are one of those teams that’s going to get better as the season goes on and we find out who we are. So it helps to play at home to a certain degree, but when you look at the teams we are facing, you have to play great no matter where the game is.”

The relative difficulty of Duke’s ACC slate will likely still be a mystery as the season begins. After sending only four teams to the NCAA Tournament last season, the conference has seen a lot of player turnover —10 of the 16 AllACC honorees either graduated or left early for the NBA. In addition to the rival partners North Carolina and Maryland, Duke plays Georgia Tech, Boston College and Clemson twice each. The Blue Devils only face Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Florida State at home, and they see N.C. State, Virginia and Miami only on the road.

put it all together.”

When Jones was recruited to Duke, he was hailed for his versatility and athleticism. As a senior in high school, he played quarterback, wide receiver, safety, linebacker and punter. Last season, Jones not only played quarterback but also wide receiver due to Duke’s lack of depth at the position. He caught 11 passes for 90 yards.

“It helps having been a wide receiver,” Jones said. “I have a good idea where they are supposed to be, where they come out in their routes and where their angles are.”

Jones’s time for learning and gaining familiarity, however, is running short. Duke opens its season on Sept. 2 at Wallace Wade Stadium against Richmond. He said he is ready because his teammates support him and believe he will successfully lead the offense.

“I feel like I’m starting to become the leader that this team needs at quarterback,” Jones said. “I’m playing my role. I feel like I’m doing what I’m supposed to do.”

home in Long Island, N.Y., where he had served as Hofstra’s head coach for the past 20 years.

“The hardest part was was trying to reach out to 40 guys from Hofstra to say goodbye and 40 guys at Duke to say hello,” Danowski said. “Everyone was so happy for me, that made it easier.”

With their daughter finishing up a master’s in elementary education from Hofstra this year, the Danowskis agreed that Patricia, who works full-time as an ultra-sound technician, wouldremain at their home in New York for the next year while John rented an apartment in Durham. The couple will take turns visiting each other every few weekends.

Patricia trekked down with John to help him settle into his apartment less than a mile from campus. John Danowski said it’s still “spartan living” while he gets settled, which he is okay with as it allows him to focus on his job. For now, it’s just about the bare essentials—Patricia helped her husband make some progress while in Durham by purchasing silverware.

“It’s probably good that my wife and daughter aren’t there because now I don’t feel rushed to get home for dinner, I don’t have to feel rushed to do things at home because I don’t have anything at home,” Danowski said. “It’s easier to focus on the players and getting to know people.”

For the time being, Danowski said he is immersing himself in the job and learning about Duke’s culture, doing everything from ordering new office furniture to dining at the Washington Duke Inn with the Chair of the Board of Trustees. In between, Danowski has found time to sit down with the admissions staff and chat up head coach Ted Roof at a recent foot-

ball practice.

“People have been spectacular, beyond what my expectations were,” Danowski said. “They’ve been accommodating, helpful and kind, and they’ve been great.”

It hasn’t just been the on-campus life he’s been getting used to. Given the nature of the publicity surrounding the ongoing legal case, the team’s return and his hiring were big news.

Danowski said that while he was known in his community in New York, especially in recent years, it has been exponentially greater down in Durham. At Best Buy last week, a stranger approached him and wished him luck.

“Everyone knows about Duke lacrosse,” he said. “When you mention it now, everyone knows.”

One person who certainly won’t forget is Pressler, whom Danowski said he considers a good friend. Danowski and his wife last weekend attended a “very emotional” going-away party for Pressler, hosted by Pressler’s friends and neighbors.

“I think it was some closure for him, congratulations on his new job,” Danowski said. “People really cared about Michael, cared what happened to him.

We’re very happy for him because he seems to be truly happy that he’ll be

coaching again.”

Danowski said he expects to continue his dialogue with Pressler as the new coach gets to know the players who remained fiercely loyal throughout this spring to the coach who recruited them.

But Danowski said he also realizes now it’s his team, and he’s already begun to make his mark. During the fall practice season, Danowski is holding practice at 7:30 a.m. four times per week. He said he thinks the changed time will force the team to focus and allow the players greater freedom with their academic schedules

John Danowski's first change has been to schedule morning practices this fall to focus his team. and affairs with open afternoons.

Even with the scrutiny surrounding the team’s behavior, Danowski said he does not expect to be knocking down doors on Saturday night. Instead, he said he plans to instill values that will permeate throughout the players’ lives.

“This is the stuff I really enjoy,” he said.

“To teach them life lessons, that’s why I coach. As opposed to monitoring and rules, it’s about guidelines and common sense. It’s about decision-making.”

Practice begins on Monday, with eight

walk-on candidates competing for roster spots vacated by four recruits who defected while the program was suspended.

Though he would never have wished the events of last spring, the new coach is ready for the tall task ahead.

“Someone said the other night, coming here was like a calling, and maybe they’re right,” Danowski said. “I never thought that this would happen, I never pretended I would be coach at Duke someday.... But the experiences I’ve had in my life have prepared me for this position.”

Gail Goestenkors will be an assistant coach for the USA National Team that will compete in next month'sWorld Championships.

Aug. 29 through Sept. 6 in closed sessions, but it will also have three practice sessions that are free and open to the public in the Triangle.

The team will hold open practice Aug. 30 at N.C. State’s Reynolds Coliseum at 6:30 p.m. and at North Carolina’s Carmichael Auditorium at 6 p.m. Aug. 31.

Cameron will host the final open practice Sept. 3 at 5 p.m.

“It’s a privilege and an honor to have the USA Basketball Women’s Senior National Team training at Duke,” Goestenkors said. “It’s a great opportunity for the community to see women’s basketball at its very best.”

Goestenkors joins the USA coaching staff led by head coach Anne Donovan, who also serves as head coach of the WNBA Seattle Storm. Donovan, who led the Storm to a WNBA title in 2004, has national team experience as a player—she was on the gold medal-winning Olympic teams in 1984 and 1988.

“I haven’t worked with her as a head coach, so Tm sure

20061255

I will learn a great deal from her as well,” Goestenkors said. “I always learn from other coaches and certainly any time you go overseas and get to see all the foreign teams play, they all have different styles and different sets and it’s always a good learning experience.” ' Goestenkors said she first mentioned Duke as a possible site for the team’s training sessions. Although Goestenkors admitted that she will still miss some Blue Devil commitments because of the USA schedule—which runs into the end of September—the Durham training site will help alleviate some of the conflicts.

“I thought that Duke would be a great place to have the practices and I explained my situation, that we started classes and that it was just going to be really difficult for me,” Goestenkors said. “They were very open to the idea—the more we talked about it the more sense it made.”

While she is working with the team, Goestenkors said the Duke assistant coaches will take on any needed responsibilities. After Team USA wraps up its games, Goestenkors said she will make several recruiting trips for the Blue Devils before their season opens in November.

Duke

is at a crossroads.”

A friend of mine said those words to me the other day in the midst of a discussion about the upcoming semester, and I can’t think of a more appropriate way to describe the University’s current state.

Our great school is sitting on a convergence offorces There is the obvious force (obvious thanks to crazed, senSGYWdrd ddl*bv1 sationalist national media outletsl-the managing editors note ongoing “lacrosse rape scandal.” This is a force like no other, carrying with it public scrutiny, legal strings and plenty of anger, hurt and confusion.

The scandal, however, is also the source of other forces, namely an investigation into Duke’s social atmosphere and drinking culture. (Rumors of a major crackdown on alcohol in the next few weeks are floating around—we’ll have to wait and see where that goes). Committees have been formed, and people are gearing up to figure out if and where our problems exist and then fix what they think needs fixing.

But there are otherforces in play at this moment in Duke’s history—hence, the crossroads.

Central Campus, a behemoth of a construction project, looms in the near (well, depending on who you ask) future. A new strategic plan, which guides all of the University’s priorities, is soon to be in play.

Turnover of top brass in the graduate and professional schools, an athletics department with some serious administrative issues, heightened concerns about Duke-Durham relations—the list goes on and on.

Yep, Duke is sitting on what could prove to be a landmine or a huge opportunity, depending on how it manages all the forces colliding and pushing at its Gothic greatness.

But why am I rambling about “Duke’s current state,” the reality of the current moment? You’re thinking thanks, ma’am, I could’ve .figured that .

Well, the answer to the “why” question is simple: to set the stage for what readers will see on the editorial pages in the coming months.

As editor of this beloved campus rag last year, and several staff members worked to transform I our editorial board, which generates the editorial seen in the upper lefthand corner of these pages each day. We have let readers know this change was coming byway of editors’ notes over

the past few months, but now, the change has fi-

nally arrived.

As of the launch of daily production, The Chronicle has for the first time an independent editorial board comprised not of our own staff (as it was in the past) but of some of the best thinkers and doers on this campus.

All students. No two alike. All inspired. And, as a group, all ready to take on the precarious crossroads we Dukies are facing.

Because we know what’s at stake.

At perhaps no time in Duke’s recent history has student opinion mattered so much. If the University is going to take this crossroads head on and students want the paths taken to be of their liking, they had better speak up and speak out —and not have any qualms about it.

Our editorial board is primed and ready to do a whole lot of speaking, to be movers and shakers in what I hope will be a barrage of student input and activism.

It’s as though The Chronicle’s major change of forming an independent editorial board crossed paths with Duke’s own crossroads (a complicated image, but work with me). And it is a fortuitous meeting, as knowledgeable student opinion is so vital to guaranteeing Duke’s health in the future.

We as an editboard won’t be shy.

We will be critical.

We will be informed.

And we’ll always be present —five days a week, right here on these pages.

You may not always agree with us, but we hope you will read what we have to say and respond, whether through your own words and actions in the greater Duke community or in letters to the editor.

Both, from our end, are encouraged.

Under the leadership of our editorial page editor, Dan Englander, I’ll be helping manage the new editorial board. If you have questions or comments about the board’s opinions, feel free to contact us (dbe@duke.edu, sld22@duke.edu).

So here at the crossroads we sit—-we meaning Duke, we meaning students and we meaning The Chronicle’s new editorial board.

We’re looking forward, hoping for the best but acknowledging that hope isn’t enough. Thought, word and action are needed.

Our editorial board hopes to provide some of that thought and word and to inspire action.

We’ll be here all year. Be in touch.

THE CHRONICLE

O, brave new world

It’s

been five months since March 14, 2006. Five months since a woman accused three Duke students of raping her, and five months since the ensuing controversy nearly tore our community apart.

By now, we’ve heard much about the accuser, the prosecutor and the three players under indictment. But what about the so-called “perfect storm” of “race, class and town-gown relations” that made the case so notable? The ceaseless media attention has unkristin butler earthed a disturbing level of racial and social discord with all deliberate haste in Durham; as seasonal residents here, Duke students ignore these sentiments at our own risk.

Take, for example, the words of a North Carolina Central University student who wants to see the three lacrosse players prosecuted, “whether it [the alleged rape] happened or not. It would be justicefor things that happened in the past.” Another NCCU student told Newsweek, “This is a race issue... People at Duke have a lot of money on their side.” A Durham city school board member, referring to the high proportion of the black vote District Attorney Mike Nifong received in the May primary, added, “The level of frustration with the rape case is related to historic frustration with Duke.”

Our own Professor Houston Baker sent a letter to the University March 29 demanding to know, “How many more people of color must fall victim to violent, white, male, athletic privilege?” By the end of his letter, Professor Baker had used the word “white” as a pejorative ten times, insinuating that “white male privilege” and “silent whiteness” drove Duke administrators to be “abettors ofwhite privilege, irresponsibility, debauchery and violence.”

Of course, the racial slurs allegedly shouted by lacrosse players will be no less offensive if they are true. The same goes for Ryan McFadyen’s e-mail, which—although it was apparently meant to be a joke—is not at all funny, or acceptable. But the level of distrust expressed by NCCU students, Professor Baker and large numbers of Durham residents (of all races) doesn’t arise overnight; the lacrosse controversy has only brought longheld resentments to the surface.

Our on-campus response thus far—to the extent that there has even been one—has been woefully inadequate. To see what I mean, look no further than “To the Residents of Durham,” published by former Chronicle columnist Daniel Bowes (who is now the DSG Community Liaison). In apologizing for abstractions like “the racism that too many [Duke students] use to justify their silent condescension” and “the economic and social inequalities that seemingly provide us the opportunity to do so,” Bowes dodges the most important question of all: what, specifically, are we doing wrong, and how are we to fix it?

This fall, my column will answer precisely that question. I will point to specific instances where I believe that Duke is behaving in ways that may well be racist and elitist. Moreover, I will offer solutions to make our institution more transparent and accessible, both to our neighbors and to its students. Finally, I will point to several innovative ways in which other universities (particularly those with better town-gown relations) have sought to better their communities.

It is worth pointing out (as others have) that Duke is already a hugely positive force for Durham. The Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership has invested $lO million in neighborhoods surrounding the campus, and we account for an economic impact equal to $3.2 billion each year. Fully 15% of Durham’s residents work at Duke, and the student body they serve is itself racially and economically diverse. Our job is to leverage these natural advantages, particularly when unprecedented opportunities like the planning and construction of the new Central Campus are just around the corner.

In his response to Professor Houston Baker’s letter, Provost Peter Lange vowed not to “take precipitous actions which, symbolically satisfying as they may be, assuage passions but do little to remedy the deeper problems.” I second that sentiment, and I hope that administrators and students alike are interested in being accountable to that claim The past five months have certainly been unpleasant, but the next five months are filled with possibilities. To this end, each Friday I will bring you examples of concrete problems in our midst, pose Duke-specific remedies, and look to other universities for more effective ways to accomplish our institutional goals. It is our privilege, our opportunity, and our responsibility to be active members of the Durham community, and I look forward to working with you all toward such a worthy end. ...

With an endless variety ofboth classic and upscale chocolates (think everything from Hershey’s to Lindt), as well as bin candy, gummies, cookies, muffins and pastries, it’s enough to satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth. The Beanery also offers the caffeine-loaded beverages that are a staple of every late-night study session. And did we mention it’s the only place on campus to get late-night Starbucks?

At the Armadillo Grill, you can be sure you won’t miss a single minute of Dicky V’s play-by-plays and still be able to keep your energy up with a variety of Mexican dishes. The Dillo, as it is called by upperclassmen, sports a big-screen television, as well as several small ones scattered throughout the three-level eatery, to ensure that no seat is without a view of the big game.

Only steps from East, Mad Hatter'sCafe and Bake Shop offers fresh-out- of-the-overn cakes and cookies.

Factory, Symposium is where you want to go for a special occasion. An eclectic menu will ensure a delicious entree for both you and your somewhat-significant other. Grab dessert and go for a walk around the water tower, one of the most picturesque locations in Durham.

end a

long night than a trip to Cosmic Cantina.

Walk up the seemingly sketchy stairs, and enjoy the best chicken quesadilla money can buy.

Pitchers of margaritas and a good beer selection make the meal that much more fun. Get there early, however, because the line can be out the door after a party at Erwin gets broken up.

There are secrets to beating the Cosmic line, hut they are only available to experienced patrons. Keep your eye out for Cosmic in New York City, where your DukeCard gets you a discount.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 25,

THE CHRONICLE

Want a milkshake with oreos,

nuts

and

watermelon? Then Cookout is definitely the place for you. Open until 3:30 a.m., a Cookout tray is an unbeatable late-night food. Get the tray, with a burger, two sides and a milkshake, in less than five minutes for around five dollars. The burgers aren’t half-bad, either, especially that late at night.

If the prospect of half-price sushi doesn’t scare you, stop by Mount Fuji Thursday nights at Brightleaf Square for the area’s best Japanese fare. Many patrons swear by the sushi, even though others just go for the sake bombing. Sit outside on a nice night, or enjoy the hopping atmosphere inside if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Just across the street from Satisfaction’s and Devine’s, a night at Mount Fuji’s puts you in prime position for an evening’s activities.

Loco Pops, which may be coming a student plaza near you soon, has, a location just off Ninth St. Although the unassuming store front and minimalist decorations may not appear impressive at first, the whiteboard

2006 7

menu reveals the attraction ofLoco Pops.

Featuring a myriad of inventive flavors, from pistachio to mojito to hibiscus peach, these popsicles will refresh any palate. And flavors change on a weekly basis, so you can keep going back and never get bored.

And at $1 or $2 apiece, you can go loco.

There are few secrets at Duke', but Wimpy’s Grill is one of the best-kept. Juicy cheeseburgers are the fan favorite, but the menu features a number of American favorites. A tiny shack just blocks from East Campus is hardly visited by Duke students, mainly because few know it even exists. Get there early, however, because Wimpy’s closes at 2:30 p.m. Don’t forget napkins, either, because your burger can get messy.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 25,

THE CHRONICLE

Cuddle with the cube down the hall for a movie under the stars at the Starlite Drive-In. Currently showing “Snakes on a Plane” at 9 p.m. ever)' night except Wednesdays until the end of the month, the Drive-In also has late shows at 11 p.m.

Friday and Saturday nights.

Tickets are just $5.00 each, but make sure you bring cash. If you plan to actually watch the movie, also be sure to have a working radio in your car. You can bring your own food, but there is also a variety of beverages, junk food, burgers and sides for sale.

It's inevitable. Riding the mechanical bull at Shooters II is a challenge few can turn down more than once. Five dollars gets you on the bull for as long as you can keep up with the controller.

It is usually easier for girls, but the bull always wins. No worries—the area around the bull is always heavily padded to prevent serious injuries. Despite the steamy atmosphere, pants are a must if you want to ride the bull.

ALYSSA KAHN/THE CHRONICLE

Students line up to get into Shooters, where a mechanical bull highlights many students' evenings.

2006111

A classic location for date functions, the AMF Bowling Center can also provide a laid-back night out with friends. The lanes can host group events and birthday parties. And if you're into loud music and dim lights, try out Xtreme Bowling.

For the outdoorsy type, a glimpse of nais just a short drive away from East Campus. Take advantage of the rock quarry at the park, which is a mile-long hike away from the parking lot.

Be sure to get a running start when jumping 25 feet into the water, however, because there are no lifeguards at the rock quarry. Telling ghost stories on the hike back can be fun, too. Not recommended for those who cannot swim. ture

Everything is more fun on wheels.

Spend hours with friends at the roller skating rink, where the music never stops.

Food and video games are plentiful, too.

Make it an event by dressing up around a theme. Usually, any chosen decade will do.
